Chapter 1954


    However, Fane was altogether of a different pedigree. He did note from a prestigious family nor


    possess a high level of cultivation so of course he was ripped for their insults. Zeph clenched his


    fists tightly. He would have shut Fane up with a punch on the face if it was not for thest shred of


    reasons controlling him.

    He had be aughing stock and he would do anything to stop Fane from creating more


    malicious gossip. "Do you think you can turn things around by ndering me? Where’s your proof?”


    Fane smiled lightly and straightened himself up. “Ditto. Where''s your proof? You say you received


    the reports of me being a spy from your disciples. Then summon them here for an interrogation! I


    would like


    to know just where I met up with the people of the Muddled Origin n too."


    Zeph took a deep breath and there seemed to be electricity shing in his eyes. He had a lightbulb


    moment—the malicious gossip was just a means to the end. He was impressed by Fane''s quick-


    witted thinking. It was a ssic case of ''if you can’t beat them, join them.''


    Zeph scoffed coldly and turned his head away. "Of course I can summon them here but why should


    I? I have the final say in this matter and I say you''re a spy and thus, forbidden to take the test.


    There’s no need to waste any more time on you who is merely just a test-taker. Everything I do is for


    the good of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion." He was banking on his status to prevent Fane from taking


    the test and had decided that he would personally end his life after all the dust had settled.


    "Just admit that you don''t want me to win the sengen pill," said Fane, without even bothering to look


    at him. Zeph roared withu turned around and stared at Fane with


    hawk eyes. "You kept on saying you can win the sengen pill. Is this your humble way of calling


    yourself a genius?"


    "I''ve never said that. I just say I can get the sengen pill. Why don''t you let me take the test if you


    don’t believe me,” he said, not backing down one bit. "If I don’t have the ability then it means I was


    lying, and if I do, it means that I was telling the truth all along. How about it?"


    All along, he aimed to find a way for Zeph to let him take the test. There was no way Zeph would


    disregard his question now that he had forced him into a corner and judging from the cold beads of


    sweat rolling down his forehead, the words had achieved their intended effect. He was going to


    refuse Fane’s request but what was the worst that could happen if he let him take the test? The


    chances are, Fane would fail so horribly and be branded as a spy forever.


    "Fine, you can take the test but remember what you said," Zeph said finally. He and the rest of the


    crowd did not doubt that Fane would not be able to light up the fifth light. After all, three thousand


    people had already tried and not one of them seeded. Thus, what could an initial stage of the


    innate level fighter possibly do?
